Based on the provided documents, there is limited direct information about the frequency of sexual relations in marriage. The most relevant reference indicates that Ellen White addressed sexual matters in marriage during the 1860s, particularly following her health-reform visions of 1863 and 1865. The document notes that In referring to sexual intercourse in marriage she employed such terms as 'privilege of the marriage relation,' 'privilege of the family relation,' 'sexual privileges'" (1MCP).
However, the specific documents provided do not contain her detailed counsel on the frequency of marital relations. To find Ellen White's more complete counsel on this topic, you would need to search her writings from the 1860s onward, particularly in her health reform materials and testimonies addressing marriage and family life. The document context emphasizes an important principle: "Care must be exercised to get her complete thought on each subject. An isolated statement should not be used by itself, lest the part be taken for the whole" (
CD 5.2). This suggests that her counsel on marital intimacy would need to be gathered from multiple sources to understand her full perspective. The provided excerpts indicate she did write on this subject, but the specific statements addressing frequency are not included in these particular documents. --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:**
